Broken Mirror

I'm looking into a broken mirror

tiny shards reflecting me

but every piece has something similar

flaws... everywhere I see

A stupid, annoying, hopeless person

just a waste of space, time, and air

why should I even try?

I'll just end up in failure

eventually the pieces of glass

will be scattered on the floor

and I would have fallen apart

my heart, and soul worn and tore

I'm seeing nothing worth looking at

just a gruesome beast

uselessness in a skin coat

to say the least

I'm looking through the broken mirror

seems like I'm staring into nothing

maybe that's all I am

not going to be much of anything

Author's Note

I'm getting back on track a little bit, I hope everyone enjoys this

You dear are not a waste of space, time, and air! You are wonderful and a awesome writer! This is a great hopeless poem. Sometimes we do feel like we are nothing..but lies my friend lies..Lies to shatter us and separate us from our goals and purposes. I do agree with "angelic surrender" the world does break us, probably because the world is made up of many instruments of the devil. He wants to break us as much as possible because he is suffering and also the greater we become the more of a threat we are to him. In my opinion, most imperfections are really misunderstood perfections :) Keep fighting and you will prevail.

This is very deep. What you see is broken because the world has shattered the way we see ouselves, and everything else. It has broken all morals, ethics, promises, and peace. If not for the world, what you'd see in the mirror would be pure and flawless. It's the cracks and flaws in the mirror that make you seem like a beast, not yourself. As long as you keep the reflection in your soul pure, it doesn't matter what you see anywhere else. I love the imagery and rhythm here. This is a wonderful poem. Really made me think. Keep it up :)
